President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, allegedly appointed a dead person into the board of one the federal government agencies.<\/p>\n

We reported that Chief Tobias Chukwuemeka Okwuru is one of the member-nominees (Ebonyi State) in Buhari\u2019s letter to the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.<\/p>\n
